Rawlings Introduces Bone-rubbed Wood Bats

noreply@blogger.com (RawlingsGear.com) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 14:00:00 +0000

There's a longtime belief in baseball that rubbing your ash bat with an animal bone can make it stronger.

Let Rawlings save you the time and elbow grease with one of its new bone-rubbed wood bats.

Available at Rawlings Gear, the new Bone Rubbed Big Stick (model number 243BO) is an ash wood bat featuring Profile 243, a large barrel and a 15/16” handle. Bat lengths are 32”, 33” and 34”.

Rawlings' Big Stick models are designed to create power through the size and shape of the barrel.

The new Bone Rubbed Velo (model number 110VBO) is an ash wood bat featuring Profile 110, a medium barrel and a 1” handle. Bat lengths are 32”, 33” and 34”.

Rawlings' Velo bats are ideal for players who want to maximize their swing speed by using a more balanced bat.

Rawlings developed new proprietary machinery and technology to automate the bone rubbing process. Uneven spots and blemishes on the wood are rubbed away, resulting in a compressed, harder hitting surface. Additionally, this process smoothes out the surface of the bat, which reduces the possibility of the barrel flaking.

Is a Maple or Ash Wood Bat Right for You?

noreply@blogger.com (RawlingsGear.com) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 14:00:00 +0000

Big leaguers choose the Rawlings wood bat that works best for them, and you can too.

There are key differences between ash and maple to meet your preferences.

Rawlings' maple wood bats are durable bats. Their closed grain structure makes for a bat that will not flake, splinter or separate.

Maple also provides a hard hitting surface because it is dense. Maple bats have a moisture content of 8 percent to 10 percent.

Additionally, Rawlings' maple bats are subject to the Pro Ink Dot Test. This mark on the handle of the bat bleeds in the direction of the grain, allowing the straightness of the bat to be measured. The straighter the grain, the stronger the bat.

Rawlings' ash wood bats are also durable, but are better known for their feel.

Ash wood is strong, but its porous grain structure makes it feel more lightweight than maple.

Ash bats are flexible because of their higher moisture content (10 percent to 12 percent).

Rawlings Gear carries maple and ash wood bats from Rawlings' Professional Collection, Big Stick Wood and Velo Wood bats series.

Outperform your rivals with the right wood bat.

Rawlings Introduces Compression Socks

Rawlings Introduces Compression Socks

New to Rawlings' line of compression apparel are two types of athletic socks—one style for in-game use and another to minimize post-game swelling and soreness.

These medical-grade compression socks are made to increase circulation to the feet and legs, protect against impact injuries and skin breakdown, wick moisture away from the skin and prevent excessive muscle vibration and its associated energy loss.

That's not all—these socks feature an unprecedented two-year guarantee. If you get any holes from wear and tear inside your shoe or get any blisters while wearing your socks within the first two years, simply return your socks and a replacement pair will be sent to you.

Rawlings is able to offer all this in a sock through the use of VO2fx Athletic Compression Technology.

This technology reduces swelling while increasing the supply of nutrient-rich blood to the entire lower leg. When worn during practice and games, the socks reduce muscle vibration and energy loss.

These compression socks are made with CoolMax® and Lycra® to keep your feet dry, and their seamless construction eliminates the friction that causes blisters.

Mid-foot arch support benefits both high and fallen arches, and the padded soles add an extra layer of protection.

noreply@blogger.com (RawlingsGear.com) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:00:00 +0000

Generate great energy with Rawlings' Generation II protective girdle, new to the SRG line.

This five-piece girdle (model number 2AG5S) features Rawlings' Zoombang polymer in the hip, thigh and tailbone.

Zoombang protective girdles absorb up to 80 percent of every impact, spreading out the shock of a hard hit while remaining flexible.

They are NFHS® compliant with an inserted thigh pad.

Zoombang equipment was developed through collaboration with respected professional trainers, equipment managers and professional athletes. The unique Zoombang viscoelastic polymer is a semi-solid, plastic-like material that is extremely soft at rest and conforms to any shape but instantly behaves as a solid on impact.

Girdles are available in adult sizes small to 3XL. See the Rawlings Gear sizing chart to determine your size.

Rawlings also carries a line of compression shirts with Zoombang polymers.
